Musical Lyrics & Style

Everyone be singing about the conventional things in their music. Especially Asian pop groups and idols. 

While PLB is singing about social issues and what's really going on in the world we live in. 

While a lot of my musical influences are rooted in "traditional" arena hard rock and 70's, 80's and early 90's heavy metal...Punk has had a very strong influence on what I do musically. The attitude, the bravado and the lyrical themes in the songs I be writing and bleeding on the track in the studio! 

For instance. I sing about child abuse ("Story of a Lonely Guy"), social inequality in the music scene ("Evil Record Label Man"), taboo interracial romantic/intimate relationships ("Shanghai Kiss"), saying fuck you to Donald Trump and his crew ("Just Say No"), how hard it is to be an Asian man in America run by the White man ("Asian Girls"), coping with the death of a loved one ("Window to the World"), long-distance relationships and relationship goals ("In Her Garden"), the search for immortality and the meaning of life ("Free My Soul") are such examples. 

Not a lot of Asian musicians or artists would sing about shit like that. I'm sure there are some that do out there. Musically, it's a blending and marriage of 70's and 80's American and British hard rock and contemporary punk rock. Lyrically, I'm literally singing about serious deep shit in Patrick Lew Band. Stuff you'd hear more frequently in some bands from certain sub-genres of punk rock and gangsta rap. 

My goal isn't really to become as famous as Green Day or Metallica were. But big enough to be cool in music. I try to use my music and my life's work to speak to my generation and onward about the struggle and how to overcome beating all the odds stacked against you!

So yeah I sing about real-life. But I'm still gonna get pussy. Lol.
